The traditional greeting on Easter morning is "Christ is risen" To which the response is "He is risen indeed. Alleluia!"

The Holy Epitaphion is placed on the altar table and remains there until the leave-taking of Pascha, just before the Ascension, in remembrance that Christ the Savior was on the Earth for forty days after His Resurrection. From apostolic times, the Church has always celebrated the Paschal services at night. Choir: Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and on those in the tombs bestowing life!

Holy Cross monastic community was originally founded in 1986 in Home Springs, Missouri. Offering hospitality has always been a priority for the brothers at the Hermitage of the Holy Cross. Abbot Seraphim often quotes St. Benedict, who said, Let every guest be received as Christ. He adds, We try to be welcoming to everyone and give, at least, a quick tour to all guests. Many of our visitors have very little knowledge about monastic life, and we are happy to talk with them about what does it mean to be a monk and live at a monastery.
